Make a Quick-Fix Salad
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 08/05/16 -- (Family Features) A great salad is always a welcome choice. Bean salads are perennial favorites, and this simple, satisfying, prize-winning recipe won''t disappoint.
To recreate a winning recipe from the recent Seneca Foods Mystery Box recipe contest, begin with a pantry staple, READ 3 or 4 Bean Salad. Smart cooks keep a couple of cans or single-serve cups in the refrigerator, ready to serve as a side dish or to kick start a salad, like this Chipotle Chicken and Bean Quinoa Salad.
The ready-to-eat combo of green, wax and kidney beans is delicious mixed with cooked quinoa, chicken and a subtly spicy, smoky chipotle dressing accented with lime juice and cilantro. Spooned into lettuce cups to serve, it''s the easiest main dish ever, and it''s a tasty way to use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken.
Double the recipe if needed or if opting for a single serving, it couldn''t be simpler. Start with an individual serving cup of salad and decrease dressing ingredients as the recipe directs.
